Hummingbird Nectar Recipe
The
formula for hummingbird nectar is four parts water to one part white
sugar (example: 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar). Boil the water and remove from heat. Add sugar (but no red food coloring) and stir to dissolve. Allow the water to cool before filling feeder.
Hang the feeder away from direct sunlight to prevent overheating the nectar.
Also, if
possible, bring your hummingbird feeder indoors on extremely cold nights
and rehang it as early as possible the next morning. The hummingbirds
will need the extra energy after a cold night and thank you for keeping
the nectar from freezing.
Leftover nectar may be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
